>>The October 2000 Lebanon abduction
On October 7, 2000 three Israeli combat engineering soldiers were kidnapped by Hezbollah from the Shebaa Farms, in the Golan Heights. It is also claimed by Lebanon although the UN disputes this. The soldiers, Beni Avraham, Adi Avitan and Omar Sawaed, suffered fatal injuries during their abduction. Their bodies were retrieved in 2004 at a prisoner swap deal with Hezbollah. <<

Of course not. I was just putting the b.s. about the Israeli shooting in perspective. The Palestinians may have been unarmed, but they were trying to forceably enter Israel.
